Thanks for the review Rada: Actually this is a piano arrangement of a song that has lyrics. It's about a lost love "Gone With the Wind". Here is the song with vocal and recorder air. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=5187552

Personally I found it a bit boring, felt just like noodling around with a chord progression. It held very little harmonic or melodic interest for me.
And I 100% agree with Rada, I would stay away from that title. Before I even listened, I had a negative connotation, because I'm not a big fan of the movie. Even if that negative connotation wasn't there - a piece with a title like this will trigger an association with the movie, and that's probably something you don't want.

I thought it was pleasant enough if one is in the mood for something slow & mellow. 8ude says it's boring but even the one & only Beethoven is boring if you're not in the mood.
But I wouldn't give it that title either.

Thanks to all for the comments and opinions. I appreciate your time and attention.
About the title: I won't likely change it because it is the hook line in the vocalized version of the song.

It is pretty Joe. However, it would be wise to make some melody and chord changes to make it more original. Some minor alterations could make it more yours. Try to use some counterpoint as well. That could add a new dimension to the music. Again, it sounds very nice, but I'm afraid because of the familiarity, publishers may be afraid to touch it for fear of copyright infringement. If you wanted something slightly different in title that could possibly work, maybe: "She's Gone With the Wind". Best, John
